Changing the World, Effectively: Introducing Effective Altruism, the odd social movement about doing good better

​The world has limited resources: time, money, energy. 🌍 Given that, how can we do the most good possible? 🔎

​That's the core question behind Effective Altruism (EA), a growing global movement that applies evidence and reason to figure out how to help others as much as possible. 🤔

​This is a newcomers meetup! 🌱 No prior knowledge needed, no jargon, no pressure.

​What to expect:

• ​A brief, accessible intro to EA ideas and the community 💡

• ​Resources & career options to pivot into high-impact work 🚀

• ​A Jubilee-esque game to gauge perspectives

• ​Time to connect with others who care about doing good thoughtfully 🤝

• ​A relaxed, no-commitment atmosphere ☕

• ​A tour of the do-good co-working space, Mox! 🏢

• ​Yummy pizza (w/ vegan options) 🍕

​Whether you're drawn to global poverty 🌏, factory farmed animals 🐖, AI's impact on humanity 🤖, or just want to explore how to align your career or donations with your values ✨, this is a great place to start.

​This event is not to convince anyone of certain philosophies, but to add another perspective to our broader tool belt of changemaking.

​Who should come? Anyone who's ever wondered how to help the world and wants to think more carefully about that. 🙌
